Am I alone in associating the words 'violent' and 'lurches' with tvnz?

So I was reading the Conservapedia - turns out one of the reasons Wikipedia is biased is because it often converts US English spelling to British English spelling.
For shame!
9. Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most English-speaking users are American. Look up "Most Favored Nation" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts the spelling to the British spelling "Most Favoured Nation." Look up "Division of labor" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts to the British spelling "Division of labour," then insists on the British spelling for "specialization" also.[9] Enter "Hapsburg" (the European ruling family) and Wikipedia automatically changes the spelling to Habsburg, even though the American spelling has always been "Hapsburg". Within entries British spellings appear in the silliest of places, even when the topic is American. Conservapedia favors American spellings of words.

Great work David.

I was on Engadget today and found that they (or people associated with their site via forums) have created a campaign to boycott the RIAA for
The website (and their mission)

Yes, whatever happens on these forums, the oil must flow!

Sure this was a long time ago, and quite possibly a small group of police, but there seems to be a perception that the Police are in some way responsible. This can be seen through the marchs on the Police stations in Auckland / Wellington, the poster campaign, and the chalk in Wellington.
So whether or not it is indicative of police today or not doesn't really matter, unless the Police either can clearly separate themselves from the issue, or make visible signs of change.

The world needs people, thought leaders if you will, who sacrifice their own personal morality in order to shephard humanity towards a greater truth.
Perhaps this truth could be palm oil?

The Police will have a lot of work to do in order to regain trust lost after these cases, whether or not they were at fault or culpable.
I suspect they will have to implement changes at the training level too, sort of like when the legal profession made Legal Ethics a compulsory paper for all those students graduating after 1999. They may even have to change their branding, now that its been co-opted by the protesters.

You had done well not to get such obvious trollers earlier, and to be honest, he wasn't totally without skill as a troller

Why own a business if you can't use it to push your viewpoints?
